Lol, but seriously though, I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's easily one of my favorites. Prepare to discover and appreciate something new about it upon each subsequent re-watch! Like the fact that he is aptly named "Stitch," symbolic of how he mends the family back together. Or the fact that the song Nani sings to Lilo, "Aloha Oe" (aka "Farewell to Thee") was written by a Hawaiian queen and became a cultural anthem of sorts after Hawaii was annexed by the US, which resulted in many families being forced apart. And she sings it as a goodbye before Lilo is taken away by an agent of the US government... such a deep and powerful film.

OK, now I don't feel so bad. I just watched "Up" a few months ago. I bought it on DVD when it first came out but never sat down to watch it. My sister watched the first 5-10 minutes a while back, and turned it off (very depressing, after losing our mother and other sister to cancer).

I re-watched Lilo and Stitch for the first time in years just a few weeks ago, and I did not remember it being such an emotional movie, but I was tearing up through so much of it. Lilo throwing down Scrump after the girls made fun of her-then running back to pick her up in a hug ... Stitch wandering away from the house, calling out, "Lost!" thinking he might find his family ... So many scenes involving Nani, who is one of my favorite Disney characters. I probably can't praise this movie enough, they did such a good job with the character development. Did anyone on here notice (I didn't, I had to read it somewhere) ALL of the surfing trophies in Nani's room? Just a very subtle example of how much their lives had to change after their parents passed away. :cry:
